HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) version 2.1 User Guide

Fibre Channel Initiator Endpoint requirement
Fibre Channel Initiator Endpoint is a Requirements Group containing requirements
describing a single Fibre Channel initiator endpoint of a host that is to access the storage service.
The Fibre Channel Initiator Endpoint sub-requirements are described below:
• Fibre Channel Endpoint WWN — Interface WWN
• Fibre Channel Network — Network to which the initiator WWN is or will be logged
into.
• Fibre Channel Proxy Endpoint WWN — SAN on which proxy WWN exists is the SAN
to which the interface WWN is connected.
For more detailed information, see Working with Brocade Fibre Channel networks and Working
with unmanaged networks.
The Fibre Channel Initiator Endpoint requirement group must contain a Fibre
Channel Endpoint WWN requirement and optionally can contain one of the other two
requirements to complete the endpoint specification.
Fibre Channel Target Endpoint requirement
Fibre Channel Target Endpoint is a Requirements Group containing the requirements
describing a single Fibre Channel target endpoint. The Fibre Channel Target Endpoint
members are described below:
• Fibre Channel Endpoint WWN — Interface WWN
• Fibre Channel Network — Network to which the target WWN is connected.
• Fibre Channel Proxy Endpoint WWN — Network on which proxy WWN exists is the
Network to which the interface WWN is connected.
For more detailed information, see Working with Brocade Fibre Channel networks and Working
with unmanaged networks.
The Fibre Channel Target Endpoint requirement group must contain a Fibre Channel
Endpoint WWN requirement and optionally can contain one of the other two requirements to
complete the endpoint specification. It is used to specify Fibre Channel SAN zoning service
requirements.
Host requirement
Host is a Requirements Group containing the sub-requirements describing access to a storage
service for a single Fibre Channel host. Multiple Host requirements can be specified when a
volume is to be presented to multiple hosts. The Host sub-requirements are described below. Each
sub-requirement is optional:
• Host Entry Name — The default name of the host as it appears on the array
NOTE: The presence or value of this requirement only affects service matching if a
Pre-presented requirement with a value of TRUE is specified. Otherwise, it is used to
suggest a name for newly-created host entries on the array.
NOTE: If this value is not present and a host entry is created by SPM, SPM generates a
name automatically for the host entry.
• Operating System — The operating system of the initiator (used by the provider to determine
a Hostmode setting)
• LUN Number — Storage must be presented with a LUN number. When omitted, the service
provider chooses a LUN number.
